A copyright dispute, Bartz v. Anthropic AI, has reached a settlement, meaning Judge Alsup’s initial thoughts on whether using copyrighted material to train AI models constitutes fair use won’t be tested in a higher court. This resolution leaves the legal landscape surrounding AI’s use of copyrighted data murky, as an appeals court won’t be able to solidify or challenge the original ruling. The lack of further judicial review casts uncertainty on the future development of AI fair use law. Discussions about this and other AI law cases are ongoing at https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtificialInteligence/comments/1mtcjck.
